    Population geography is growing but risks losing its distinct identity by becoming too similar to demography. Researchers should explore new directions beyond traditional demographic methods to maintain the subdiscipline's unique focus.

    Area of Science:

    • Population Geography
    • Demography

    Background:

    • Population geography studies are increasing, indicating subdiscipline growth.
    • Concerns exist about population geography diverging from mainstream geography.
    • There is a risk of population geography being absorbed into the broader field of demography.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the current status and trajectory of population geography.
    • To assess the relationship between population geography and demography.
    • To propose future directions for population geography.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of the current body of research in population geography.
    • Comparative assessment of population geography and demography.
    • Literature review and theoretical discussion.

    Main Results:

    • The field of population geography shows robust growth in publication volume.
    • Population geography is becoming increasingly isolated from core geographical studies.
    • The subdiscipline faces a significant risk of assimilation into general demography.

    Conclusions:

    • While demography offers valuable methods, population geography requires distinct theoretical underpinnings.
    • Future development of population geography should seek inspiration beyond demographic frameworks.
    • Maintaining a unique identity is crucial for the continued relevance and advancement of population geography.
